Highly influential accounts can be detected simply.
There are many practical applications for doing so:
The optimization problem here is constructing a network that is fully connected at lowest cost.
Short-term divergence and micro-evolution in populations can be reconstructed based on sample data.
The same principles can be applied to parallel computation, social networks, transportation/supply design and power networks.
Some assumptions in modeling the system include:
There exists acritical massfollowing to trigger viewing or dispersal.
There existsorganicandsyntheticinteraction with followers to encourage likes and comments.
Influence reaches a specific or distinct community, unlike a celebrity which may have a more random distribution of followers.
